For a project like desktop migrations, the customers want you onsite. They want someone to deliver presentations, do the technical work and be available to train and ask questions in person.

Heard from a CIO of a major hospital chain: "I don't trust a consultant that I can't meet face to face while he does work and delivers information to my guys. If I have questions, I want him or her HERE to answer them, not some web chat. Since this project is taking a good chunk of my IT budget, I get to set the terms in the Statement of Work."
